Well...

Personally, I think almost any team in the SEC has a tougher schedule, but that's JMO.

USC will get destroyed by OSU (and I don't care for either team.) Michigan would destroy USC as well...

You're not, SC's OOC schedule was as tough as anyone in the nation with Arkansas on the road, Nebraska, and Notre Dame. As a Michigan fan, I say if SC wins they should go plain and simple. Pac-10 was stronger top to bottom than the Big 10 and not to mention my boys had there shot. They did well on turnovers, however seem to forgot you can't give up big plays...3 of them in particular killed them.

Bad calls happen, nobody wants to talk about Notre Dame having SC dead 4 and 15, under a minute to go and what they give up what at least a 50 yard pass play? Just to draw a parallel so I don't get accosted as a ND hater, same day, PSU fans whine and cry about the 2 seconds put back on the clock at Michigan, but nobody wants to talk about the fact Paterno decided to kick to Breaston who returned it to midfield. Fact is bad calls happen...every team is on both sides of them but when you sit down and look at it, usually isn't the only reason they lost.

Timmi,

Its the anti west coast bias that is pervasive on this forum. USC KILLED Notre Lame after some of these morons predicted an ND win. I have to say, anyone that predicted an ND win is either devoutly loyal or devoutly stupid...or both.

USC went into Arkansas against a team that is playing in the SEC final and destroyed them. They lost one game, a conference game, on the road. Thats it. They beat up everything else.

Now, what has Michigan beaten out of conference? And in conference, what was really that good in the Big ten besides Ohio St.??????

USC deserves the berth.

Well Michigan did destroy the same Notre Dame team at home. And I'd argue Wisconsin is better than the number 2 team in the PAC 10, but who's counting.

Arkansas was had a dinged McFadden that day, but like I said if USC wins out they should go.

Wisconsin and Cal would be a great game in my opinion.

Besides the conference, USC also beat Nebraska (handily) and Arkansas (very handily).

What did Michigan do out of conference besides Dame?

Read my earlier post, I flat out said USC's OOC schedule was unparalleled. Vandy, Central Michigan, and unfortunately Ball St. See, everyone likes to say it's about cupcakes, but it's actually about revenue generated for home date. With MAC school, home and home series aren't required so it's a huge payday. But, you don't go undefeated you have a problem. Next year Michigan has Oregon so that's a bit better.

My biggest problem is the system. UM, UF, USC, OSU all deserves shots, I'd love to see a +1 system, where 1 plays 4...2 plays 3, but again it'll never happen, money, money, money.

USC will have a tough game this week - they could lose

College football is tough to get the kids to get up for every game.
USC hates UCLA, but, they hate ND even more.

When USC plays at ND it is always in OCT, and when they play it at home it is always in late NOV , the week before the UCLA game. UCLA usually has a bye and a week off to get ready for USC.

USC will have trouble giving a max effort 2 weeks in a row. UCLA will be in an all out max effort. Remember - they could have very easily won at ND, except for the meltdown in the last 2 minutes

I expect UCLA to be at 100% for this game and USC only at about 75%. Thus , the game will be a lot closer than people think. Also last year the Bruin defense put on a horrible show in the Coliseum. The coaches and players have not forgotten how Carroll didn't take the pedal off the medal with Bush and Leinhart. They will be ready to go this year, the defense is much improved and they are going against Booty rather than Leinhart.

Watch out a Bruin victory will throw the BCS in shambles - what if later in the evening Florida loses? Then we get our re-match of Mich and OSU - it is possible - USC is not a lock this week -- BIG LETDOWN in the rose bowl

yeah yeah yeah, we heard a lot out of you and the other nitwits last year before the championship game. Remember that "USC haters eat crow thread" that Seattle started where all you nitwits told us how they were gonna kill Texas and that those of us who liked texas to win were idiots?
I sure remember it. And I sure remember you guys and that "genius" pete Carroll going home to get your ******* shineboxes after the game.
I'm hoping for a USC win this weekend so you guys can run your mouths again before the OSU game and look just as stupid again this year.
Counting the days my man. 40 days until they take a beating.

And you base this on what?

Is there any logic or rationale behind this statement? USC hasnt lost a game by more than 7 points in five years.
